I think Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade is every bit as good as King of kong: A fistful of quarters. My guess is this movie was buried since it was released so close to King of Kong. This movie has Billy Mitchell in it too, but thank God he isn't featured for the whole movie. I can only take so much of that guy. Other players are featured. Numerous games and their high scores are also featured. Really the movie chronicles the lives of these famous high scorers from the 80's until now. It also shows the rise and fall of arcade gaming and the rapid onset of home gaming. Very interesting documentary. Definitely worth a look.
